Treatment

Dryocosmus taitungensis Tang & Melika in Tang et al. (2016a: 149) View Cited Treatment , ǒ.

Distribution. Taiwan ( Schwéger et al. 2015b: 43; Tang et al. 2016a: 156).

Remarks. Schwéger et al. (2015b) described the inquiline species Saphonecrus robustus Schwéger & Melika from specimens reared from galls named by these authors as ‘TWTs16’. According to the photos in by Pénzes et al. (2018: photos 70 and 71), these galls correspond to D. taitungensis .

Biology. Only the asexual generation has been described, which induces dehiscent stem galls on Q. hypophaea (sect. Cyclobalanopsis ) ( Table 1; Tang et al. 2016a).
